There are tiny pockets in the walls of the sigmoid colon, but there is no obvious inflammation of these pockets.
Diverticulosis. If inflamed, it's diverticulitis.
For people with diverticulosis, a diet high in fiber is recommended to prevent further diverticulosis as well as preventing the feared complication of diverticulosis: diverticulitis. Though diverticulosis in people become more and more common as they age, these typically harmless pockets in the large intestine can occasionally have problems, such as infection and bleeding. A diet high in fiber helps prevent diverticulosis as well as infection. Small sharp foods such as nuts, kernels and seeds were once thought to be avoided in this condition, but lately clinical evidence is showing that such foods may not actually aggravate diverticulosis.
The main symptoms you will experience if you are suffering from diverticulosis are diarrhea and cramping abdominal pain, without any fever or infection.
No. The first, diverticulosis is a condition, or disease, if you will. The second, diverticulotis, is what happens when the condition becomes active. With diverticulosis, your colon has little pouches that extend from the sides. Think of it like a long tube with little pouches protruding ever so often. Those aren't normal, but many people have them, without ever having any issues. When Diverticulotis occurs, something gets into one of the pouches and causes an infection. The cure is antibiotics. For some people, this happens too often. After the first few incidents, a Dr. may determine that it's necessary to remove the affected part of the colon.
Diverticulitis is not a fun thing to have, it can cause many symptoms. You can experience fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea with or without blood, pain in the abdomen as well as profuse sweating.
A diverticulitis diet may help you feel better while your doctor treats your diverticulitis with other therapies, such as antibiotics. A diverticulitis diet, which includes clear liquids and low-fiber foods, gives your digestive tract time to rest during your diverticulitis treatment.
The duration of Without Evidence is 1.55 hours.
No, diverticulitis will not go away without treatment. In most cases, it will go away after a round of antibiotics but some people have to end up having surgery to treat it.
The claim that can be asserted without evidence requires evidence to be considered valid.
Without Evidence was created on 2000-09-12.
No, a case cannot proceed to trial without any evidence. Evidence is necessary to support the claims made by both the prosecution and defense in a trial. Without evidence, there is no basis for a trial to proceed.
Blame without evidence is an allegation; the act of blaming without evidence is alleging; a person making an allegation is an accuser.
